A Spurs season ticket-holder for 63 years has been ranked in only the third level of priority to choose his seat in the new stadium.
Pensioner Tony Sidnick, 73, a regular at White Hart Lane since 1955 — without a break — has complained to his local MP he is so upset.
The Spurs ticket procedure will see at least 10,000 supporters placed in allocation groups one and two — higher up the queue than Sidnick, who may have attended more Tottenham matches than anyone else alive.
Sidnick is down the rankings because Spurs do not have reliable fans data before the 2006-7 season — the date from which they have worked out their priority list, plus including loyalty points for attending away matches.
